About Me - Bio

Introducing Monica Speer, Mrs. US Continental 2009. Monica is proud to be married to the man of her dreams, Brent, for 15 years. He is the love of her life, and her biggest supporter. He’s the first one that will tell you that his wife is Mrs. US Continental which conveniently makes him the new “Mr. US Continental!” Together, they have three beautiful children Brianna, 12 years old; Logan, 10 years old, and Blake 8 years old.

Not the typical pageant girl, Monica decided to enter the world of pageantry as a Mrs. as a goal to loose weight. She weighed 191 pounds, and chose competing in the Florida US Continental Pageant as her goal. She was focused on becoming a healthy weight, and improving her lifestyle. Monica lost 60 pounds, and in the process found herself. Little did she know that on that journey of getting healthy and losing weight that she would be crowned Mrs. Florida!


Competing in the National Pageant was a dream come true for Monica. Monica feels that there is a bigger purpose for her, and a reason that she was given the opportunity to be at the US Continental Pageant this year. She is very passionate about the US Continental System, as it positively promotes women of today. She believes it definitely provides a unique opportunity to celebrate women as they strive to achieve their goals and dreams!

Monica is very goal-oriented! She is always looking for new ways to challenge herself. She has recently taken up running, and has run in a few 5K’s. She plans on running in her first half marathon in December.

Using her platform of Empowering Women, and the American Heart Association, she plans to make appearances, volunteer, and share her story with others throughout her reign. She truly believes that if you believe in yourself and make yourself a priority, your dreams will come true.
